Foreword
THE SEA
The sea resembles the human life, \Yi th its span of "ups " and "downs"; The ''ups' ' are the happiest times of all, The ''downs '' are the tears and frowns. At times, waves rise in snowy foam, As our spirits rise with delight, At times, like the stronger waves, we strive To rise to a greater height. But the greatest breaker of them all May dip low and stay at rest; Like life, a wave can not always be A beautiful, ever-rising crest. But whether you ride on the crest of the wave, Or yet, in the valley below, Leave your ideals high up above And toward them, eternally go. As a ship will conquer the waves of the sea, If we keep our ideals high, So will we always the conquerors be Of l i fe'~ ob~tacles going by. Martha Jane Morey '34 and Olive King '34

Commercial .Department
. Nearly fifty per cent of the students in Fairport High School are taking commercial courses. Mrs. Ryon who teaches Commercial · Law, Commercial Arithmetic and Economic Geography, and Mr. John son who teaches Shorthand, Typewriting and Introdti.ction to Business are daily· seeking to present their subjects in accordance with four general aims: · First, to acquaint young people with the elementary processes of business life. Se·cond, to instill understanding and insight as well as providing facilities for the acquiring of specific skills. Third, to present the facts in our commercial courses as parts of life and hence having a direct bearing on human existence. Fourth, to carry on the commercial work in our school according to the most scientific and modern methods possible with the available equipment. The ever-growing demand each year on the part of students for admission to commercial classes is proof that this is an important phase of high school education.

Page Twenty~nine THE HOUR GLASS History Df the Class of '34 One g·olden September morn in 1930, a group of young scholars entered the portals of Fairport High School with high hopes and awe filled eyes. We were to the upper-classmen nothing but the lowly Freshmen. But how resolutely we plugged on, determined to prove our worth! The poor freshman with his gum and paper wads, was the target of all jokes, the terror of the study halls and the reason why teachers get gray. In the spring of the year we were very proud to receive the banner at the Junior Fair for the best skit. At last, we had accomplished some thing. The upper-classmen were forced to acknowledge talent. It was the first feather in our cap and we treasure its memory. The following autumn found us occupying seats in the Sophomore study hall, a little more subdued with our new responsibilities. Here and there a protractor, or an elementary French text book were seen, eviden~es of progress in our education. In the late fall we had a dancing party in the gymnasium. ·we had a very good time and enjoyed the delicious refreshments. In the spril).g we again won the banner for the best stunt. Our stunt was a television station with an all star cast. LaVerne Coffee is well remembered for his arabesquing as Miss Ruth Dennis. Other celebrities on our program were: Paderewski, Mary Pomponio; Mme. Schumann-Heinck, Martha, Jane Morey; Sir Harry Lauder, "Bill" Hanks; Rudy Vallee, Karl Guelich; Kate Smith, Margaret Bown; Greta Garbo, Marjorie Turner; Joe E. Brown, "Bob" Potter; Zeigfield Follies, class male talent; Charlie Chaplin, the announcer, Antoinette Montagliano. This cast was ably conducted by Katharine Kohler. At the Oratorical Contest, held in May, the boys' and girls' fin.;t prize and one of the second prizes were awarded to students from our class. We were very proud to report to Room 18 as full-fledged Juniors. The class officers were: President, e Harland Young; Vice-President, Gordon Seaman; Secretary, Olive King; Treasurer, M. J. Morey. MiHs Jessup was the advisor. At Christmas time the Junior rings were displayed with the numeral '34. The ultimate arrival of that date represented the fulfill ment of the ambition of many a girl and boy. It was an event in our school life. The annual magazine campaign was held in the spring. rrhe leaders were Fay Kelsey and Gordon Seaman. Fay's team won. Our first big event of the year was the Junior Fair. Once more leaving behind four care-free years of happy girlhood and boyhood. They are our dearest memories.
Page Thit·ty THE HOUR GLASS our class won th~ banner with a minstrel show. Dancing followed in the uniquely decorated gymnasium. June 28, we presented the Junior Prom. The gymnasium was decorated under the direction of Bernice Roy, to represent the seashore, with boats, beach umbrellas, and diving towers, lending the proper atmosphere. The four poles were transformed into palm trees. Music was furnished by the Hi Lo Boys. September arrived, all too soon, bringing beautiful autumnal hues and that certain feeling of restless anticipation of the beginning of school. We took our places in the Senior room with pride, yet with the realization that it would be our fast year under the guidance of our Alma Mater. Robert Dudley was elected President; Martha Jane Morey, Vice President; Mildred Priest, Secretary; James Charity, Treasurer. Under the leadership of these coinpetent officers, the Senior Class activities were conducted most efficiently. Lively Miss Hamlin and energetic Mr. Lynch are the class advisers. We had another magazine campaign in the fall, headed by Thelma Sullivan and LaVerne Coffee. Thelma's side was victorious. Candy was given to us for a party by the magazine company, but it disap peared under mysterious circumstances, much to the consternation of the Seniors. On December 28, we held the Senior Ball in the gymnasium. It was , artistically ornamented with silver icicles. Soft lights, a ceiling of white, large clusters of balloons, suspended from the ceiling, aided hy chairs, lamps and davenports made it most attractive. Music was furnished by Joe Noble and his University Revellers. "Skidding", our Senior play, was held on February 22, 1934, in the auditorium. Miss Swartzenburg and Mr. Lynch were the directors. :Marion was portrayed by Katharine Kohler; Mrs. Har'dy, Irma Bene diet; Mr. Hardy, Robert Dudley; Grandfather Hardy, James Charity; Aunt Millie, Gladys Kennedy; Wayne rrrenton III, Richard Smith; Myra, Mildred Priest; Estelle, Fay Kelsey; Andy, LaVerne Coffee; the campaign manager, Bob Potter. The play was a great success, finan cially and dramatically. The latter part of the year found us very busy with senior activities and commencement preparations. Our Senior annual, "T·he Hour Glass'', progressed under the management of a very efficient staff. The circulation campaign was very successful. As an incentive for aHsuring the circulation of our quota, the circulation division con ducted a popularity contest. Mary Pomponio and Gonion Seaman were elected the most popular students in the high school. rrhe strains of our graduation song, "Pomp and Circumstance", are softly heard in the distance. Perhaps .a tear of regret is shed in

Class Prophecy It was in the year 1954 that we :finished working on our Cofley Snoop-a-graph and were ready to try it out for the :first time. With this new invention of ours, we hoped to be able to hear and see every thing that was going on in the world. We set the dials for New York City where we :first tried the Wal dorf-Astoria Hotel and to our delight, our Snoop-a-graph worked per fectly. vVe bent and saw Hilbert Miiller, the manager, reprimanding Leslie Kuhns, the night clerk, for practicing on his drums during working hours and waking up all of the guests. They were interrupted by a call for ice-water from Room 678 which was occupied by the gem of New York's detective force, William Sanford, who gained renown as you doubtless remember by detecting a grain of trutl). in Marie's promises. Then we switched to the Central Park Casino where we found Mary Pomponio and her orchestra playing while that world famous dance team, Kohler and Ryan, danced that newest of dance steps, the B.humbioca. "\Ve also saw Tom Nicosia bouncing a flirtatious customer who was trying to impose upon the good nature of Fay Kelsey, the best of the better gigolettes. At one of the tables we saw Esther Antes, :first violinist .of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, escorted by her equally famous actor husband, Richard Smith. Behind the checking counter we found Antoinette Montagliano, who had given up all her ·opportunities to be come a college professor, just to be near Mary. We then changed the dials slightly and tuned in Roxy 's Theatre where we saw Mildred Priest playing opposite Bob Potter in that thrill ing movie, "Passion's Kisses" written by Lois Wood. We found George Hurlburt ushering Dorothy Miller and Mary Hartley to their seats in the orchestra, where they were surprised to :find Lucille Weigert and her doctor-husband ::;itting right in front of them. We then switched to the capital of Uruguay where we saw Gordon Seaman, Amba::;::;ador to Uruguay, enjoying a ::;have at 1£nrico Pom ponio's Sanitary Barber Emporium while he received a manicure at the hands of Rico's wife, the former Ann Hogan, before hurrying horne to the little woman, Louise. Setting the dials for Paris ~e tuned in on the University of Paris where we overheard June Eaton, the dean of women, dictating a letter to be mailed to the President of France. Her private ::;ecretary ami fanner classmate, Evelyn J ohn::;on, was taking the dictation. We then switched to that famous section of France, Montmarte where we founu Betty Brook::; and Kenneth Dennis out slumming. \V e reset our controls and came back across the Atlantic and over
Page Thirty-two THE HOUR GLASS to Hollywood, California, where we stopped in at the studios of Super Colossal Pictures, Inc., and found Marie Dressler's and Polly Moran'~ successors, Irma Benedict and Gladys Kennedy, starring in a play that also featured Marjorie Hummel, known as the Zasu Pitts of '54. For a while we were in doubt as to what type of entertainment we desired, but finally we decided to try a ball 'game. We switched our dials, therefore to Soldiers' Field in Chicago, where we saw the Chicago Cubs playing the Cincinnati Green Sox. Roy Steubing was pitching a brilliant game for the Green Sox. We noticed Jimmie Charity, known as the Human Frog (because he was always catching flies) out in the field chasing a beautiful hit rpade by Karl Guelich, the speed ball demon of the Chicago team. In the stand we saw Thelma Sullivan renowned Shakespearian student with her devoted husband, Foster Watson. After the game a track .meet was held in which Nelson Surrey copped all honor in the 100 and the 220 yard dashes against a fi eld of international stars. Our athletic desires having been fulfilled we turned back to our nearby city of Rochester, where we found the incoming plane from London piloted by .our :former ~cla ssmate, Graydon Hagreen. The stewardess on the plane was Florence Peppard. Among tl1:e passengers also was that distinguished world traveler and cosmopolite, Maude Sturdevant. 'Fhey were interviewed by Rosa Casella, star reporter of the Roch ester Times Union, who learned from them that Matilda Huch and Agnes N otebaert were happily married to Leo Hosley and Aggie·~ ol1.l "flame" McLeod. Next we looked in at the Genesee Hospital where we found Esther Gosman and Marcella Wawro tenderly caring for that industrious student wh:o worked himself into a Nervous breakdown, Lyle Stilwell. IncidentallY,: "Red'' came through brilliantly in 1953 and graduated. We then switched back to our own home town where we found Donald Chandler RyoN in his Billiard Academy. Here we saw '' Chickie'' Young indulging in a game before returning to hi~ devoted Dorothy. Eddie Tracy and Bruce Hertel we found working at their garage. rrhe Fairport Herald received our next attention, here we saw Andrew C. Lynch, the editor, reminiscing with Laura Bills and Esther Bunting, Staff Artists. Margaret Bown, President of the 4H Club was seen conversing with Olive King, Principal of Fairport High School. We also saw Martha. JaJII.e MoTey (famous humorist), Clara Moore and June Hutchinson trying on hats in Erma Campbell'~ hattery. Thi~ was the end of our first experiment.

The class oHieen; were elected at the first meeting, as follows: President ULLIAN DOUGLAS Vice-President DONALD WILKINSON Secretary GEORGE LARSON Treasurer WILLIS BROWN Advisors - MISS JESSUP, MR. JOHNSON At the second meeting of the newly-assembled class, plans were made for the ordering of the traditional Junior rings. ':ehey anived sl1ortly before Christmas, just in time to make ideal presents for the members of the class. How proudly the rings were displayed befon~ the envious eyes of the lower classmen. The class began its money-raising activities with great enthusiasm by selling candy first at football games, then at basketball games and during noon hours at school. A Halloween party was held in the gymnasium to which everyone eame in masquerade costume. rrhe entertainment consisted of danc ing, games ~nd refreshments. The annual magazine campaign was held the following spring. An exciting contest ensued between two teams,- the Flying Clouds led by Lillian Douglas, and the Westward Ho team led by Albert Di Risio. Albert 'i:i team was the loser of the contest, so it gave the Flying Clouds a party in the High School Gymnasium. The Juniors are always well represented in the school activities. Dorothy Holley is the representative for the class in the Students' Council. Several of the class belong to the Dramatic Club, the High School Orchestra and the High School Band. Lillian Douglas and Robert Hickey were selected as the most popular pupils in the class in the recent popularity contest. The names of many Juniors are always found near the top of the Honor Roll. Frances Wood, Jane Schoolmaster, and George Pignato usually hold the honors. A large part of both the first and second teams in basketball is made up of members of the Junior class. The Juniors were also very well represented on the gridiron and they did some real fighting there. The girls take quite an active part in athletics also and deserve a com plimentary word for their good sportsmanship. The Seniors need have no fears as to the ability of the Juniors to successfully carry on as "grown ups" next year.

Last year's Freshman class has emerged from its green chrysalite, and developed into an active Sophomore class. The first duty of the class is to elect a representative to the Students' Council. Joe Messerino, a star basketball player, was chosen for this office. 'rhe Sophomores rank high in scholastic honors and do their part on the Honor Roll. · They are also proud of their active participation in athletics, in which the girls as well as the boys, excel. Four Sopho mores were on the first team last basketball season and will be valu able as veterans next year. They are equally active in baseball and football. The girls were no less enthusiastic and anticipated eagerly the tournament games for which they were very grateftil to J\lliss Hamlin. In the annual popularity contest, the Sophomore choices, Laura Case and Joe Messerino, won second place. The only social event in. which the Sophomore class participates iR the annual Junior Fair, when each class is expected to contribute to the njgl;tt 's entertainment by performing a stunt. The Sophomore class is .eagerly looking forward to ned year, when, as Juniors, they wiU be abl'e to organize, and contribute even more to the fame of their Alma Mater.

They have shown their greatest ability in sports. In the GirlK' · Athietic Association, with the aid of Miss Hamlin, the Freshmen hav~~ been playing good basketball and enjoying many hikes. rrhe boys have likewise been doing their share in sports. Several · of the ~'reshmen played on the second team _in basketball. With Mr. Martin as their coach, they showed excellent team-work and their ability on the court secured many points for their team. rrhe Freshmen made an excellent showing in the drive for student dues. In proportion to the number of people paying, they collected a ·greater percentage of money than any other class except the Seniors. The candidates of the class to the popularity contest were Katherine Pomponio and Donald Bueg. A good proportion of the Freshmen have been on the Honor Roll this year. Several have competed for the highest honors. We hop8 that this class will contribute much to the school both scholasticall y . and athletically in the years to come.

Olive King was elected Editor-in-Chief; LaVerne Coffee, Circulation Manager, and Donald Ryon, Business Manager. The staff at once began its task with industry and enthusiasm which increased when the subscriptions to the annual were found to exceed those of any other year. The circulation department again sponsored the annual popularity contest . . Each person with a subscription was entitled to one vote. Mary Pomponio and Gordon Seaman, the Senior candidates, received the winning ballot. Upon Miss Turner's suggestion, at a meeting of the staff it was agreed that the theme of our book would be ''The Sea.'' 'l'he dedica tion of the Hour Glass was made, by the consent of the entire class, to our mothers and fathers in appreciation of all they have done for us. As it is customary for the annual to feature one school department, we are featuring the commercial department. vV e have put into this annual our labors and ideas, not merely for our own satisfaction and enjoyment in later years, but also to present to every Hour Glass reader a true picture of our high school life during the past year.

The orchestra has furnished music for assembly programs, for the Senior Play and for various school activities. Leonard Morey has been the piano player in the orchestra for three years. "Buddy" Baker and Arlene Jackson make up the saxo phone section. l~dwin Gardner, James Parke and Raymond Brewster are the clarinet players. In the trumpet section Florence Peppard plays first trumpet and Gordon Scott second trumpet. William Wilson is the sole, but very able member in the bass section. The trombone section is also efficiently occupied by one person, Harold Gears. Esther Antes, Betty Mabry, Charlotte Cummings, Franklin Witt, Alvin Goocl and Merle Seaman are the violinists. The music for the orchestra consists of marches and waltzes and nl so some popular pieces. 'Phe facmlty and student bocly are very grateful to the orchestra leader and its members for the excellent music they have giv<~n liS during the past year. vV e hope that the orchestra will continue each year on its progress toward perfection and that new material will be possible as the present nlemhen; step out in the world to fill higher positions.

This time girls, as well as boys, were asked to join from both the grades and the high school. In response to his call came forty-two students. Therefore the name had to be changed from the Boys' Band to the Fairport High School Band. The membership in <·.ludes nineteen girls who contribute their part to the achievement of tlre group. Mr. Vance readily consented to give lessons during school hours to those who desired them, free of charge to the students. The enthusiasts to the number of thirty-two, having procured instruments, appeared in the auditorium during a free, period according to the arranged sdredule.

Page Fifty-eight THE HOUR GLA SS Footbal11933 When Arthur Martin, new coach of Fairport High Sr-hool, isf.:ued the call for football canrlidate:-;, hi:-; r,a ll wa:-; illlm erl iat<" ly an:-;w e1wl hy forty-Jive players. After a few weeks of experimenting, the coach decided that Hare was capable of holding down the center position; Pomponio and Young, ends; Basile and Dickinson, guards; Wilson and Captain Nicosia, tackles; Hogan, Seaman, Holtz, and Vigaretti, the backfield. The subs who played an important part in most of the games were Joe Messerino, A. Rir.r.o, L. Coffee, R. Ryan, D. Stolt, and H. Cobb. Captain Nicosia played taclde during the season and proved himself a very capable and sporty leader. The first game of the season was with Medina at Fairport. It 'lvas a great day for a football game and many supporters made the situa tion brighter. Fairport's Crimson rride crushe Page Sixty THE HOUR GLASS and Gerald Dickinson abo starred because they each scored a touch down in the last two quarters to nose out Irondequoit 18-7. Fairport next went to Genesee "\Vesleyan at Lima, New York. Fairport expected to be victorious in this game but was surprised to have a much bigger and heavier team hand them defeat. The score was 13-6 in favor of Genesee Wesleyan. Hogan scored the lone touchdown. The next week the Crimson Team was to play Brighton who wa:-; very confident of winning. The newspaper did not give Fairport much of a chance. They considered us the "Underdogs ", but Fairport utan aged to hold the heavy and more experienced Brighton team to the score of 13-0 in favor of the White and Blue of Brighton. Fairport played a wonderful game and should have shown more power. Our annual game with East Rochester was played at East Roch ester. Although each team came within scoring distance of the goal line they were unable to score. It was a hard fought game with the score of 0-0 for another year. The next game for the Red and Blue was at Webster. Fairport thought it could easily win this game but was unable to obtain victory. Sherman, the ace of Webster, could not be stopped and scored two touchdowns and a point. This gave the Webster team a 13-7 victory over Fairport. The final game of the season was played at Corning. This team was the champion of a southern league. Corning easily defeated Fairport by the score of 44-0. Next year's team will be without the services of Captain wrom" Nicosia, "Rico" Pomponio, Gordon Seaman, L. Coffee, "Chickie" Young, and Roger Ryan. We wish next year's team a more successful year than this year's. At a meeting Gerald Hare was elected captain for the 1934 football season. We wish him and the team the best of luck.

With six veterans back, Fairport's hopes for another championship team looked very good. rrhe six veterans were: Captain-elect, "Zeke" Seaman, "Rico" Pom ponio, "Cliney" Holtz, Karl Guelich, Roger Ryan and "Chickie" Young. The four reserve men from last year's team which completed the team were ''Shanty'' Hogan, ''Joe'' ~uarino, ''Hank'' Vigaretti and "Jo-J o" Messerino. _ On Thanksgiving Eve, the Red and Blue defeated Victor in the opening game of the year, 21-14. In its league debut, Fairport bowed to Irondequoit after a thrill ing battle which ended 21-17. In the next two games, Fairp·ort did not fare so well. She was badly beaten by both Brighton and Penfield. However, in the next two games Fairport upset the dope bucket by defeating Pittsford and then trouncing our old rival East Rochester, in an overtime contest, 26-25. This was the most thrilling game of the year and the result was not decided until Ryan sank a field goal in the last minute of play. Webster humbled the Red and Blue in the next game. Neverthe less, Fairport showed a reversal of form in the following game by barely being nosed out by Irondeql:wit, 27-22. ]'airport, with Young tossing them in from the center, almost overtook Irondequoit in the last quarter. Page Sixty-two THE HOUR GLASS . Jj'airport next met the strong Brighton team and almost adminis tered its first defeat of the season. It was Hogan, pivot man, who kept Fairport in the running. Our team led every minute until the last tlm~e minutes when Brighton bombarded the Fairport basket and the game ended, Brighton 26, Fairport 21. After this fine game against Brighton, Fairport went on a four game losing streak, losing to Pitts ford, East Rochester, Aquinas and ·webster. In the last home game of the year, the Red and Blue defeated Sodus, 21-19. On the following Friday, Fairport ended its basketball season by losing to Penfield 19-9. Next year's team will be without the services of three of thiR year's first · team. Thm;e who will be missing are Captain Seaman, forward; Young, center; and Pomponio, guard. Fisk, this year's manager, handled all the team's businesR in ex cellent style. "Jim" Charity will manage next year's team. At a meeting of the letter men "Boxy" Ryan and "Shanty" Hogan were eleeted co-captains and they will lead the Red and Blue team through the 1934-35 season, with the assistanee of Joe Messerino, "Hank" Vigaretti, Joe Guarino, "Cliney" Holtz, Karl Guelich, Bob Potter and members of the reserve squad.

Page Sixty.fi ve THE HOUR GLASS Girls' . Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association has continued this year as in the past, in an affi liation with the .Monroe County organization. A large number of girls has participated in the various sports, which is es sentially the object of our association. The Play Days at the various schools have proved of great benefit socially as well as in building up a fine spirit of sportsmanship. Basketball, soccer, hiking, tennis, hit pin baseball and baseball are the sports listed on the program. The awards which are presented at the end of the year are based on the accumulation of points during the year.

Each class was reprel'ented by two teams, one of which played in the Red League and the other in the Blue League. Captains for the teams were chosen by their respective classes and then the captains chose sides.. The program called for every team to play every other team twice; then a play-off between the league winners, and finally a three game series between our best team and a similar team from East Rochester. Both East Rochester and Fairport High Schools have adopted, for this year at least, a spring program of sports which permits a greater number of boys to take part in the various activities, most important of which have been the soft-ball games. Tennis has also drawn mueh interest and attention this season, there being tournaments for both boys and girls.

His thoughts however, were of the school and of his progress from the time of his kindergarten days until now. He was a Senior now. .F'or eleven years he had trudged from home to school and back again. He had digested numerous unpleasant sub jects. He had managed to get by with rather indifferent marks. This was his last year. How queer it seemed,- for eleven years he had hoped and waited for this time and now that it was here there was no wild exultation or exuberant hilarity but rather, a feeling of gloom had settled upon him. He was to leave this haven of friendships to go out and search for new havens. Somehow the prospect was not inviting. He sat by the window in his room overlooking the campus where he had spent so many pleasant hours, where perhaps he had attained a moderate or mediocre success in the field of sports. He associated old landmarks with old friends, as the smell of a · certain perfume brings to your mind the appearance of a particular person. He thought of the members of his class and their probable future occupations. Some of them would doubtless gain fame, cer tainly most of them would be obscure. There would be persons pos sibly who would let success turn their head, and there would be those whose failures would fail to daunt them. There would be reverses of fortune either for better or worse and- Then he stopped to consider his own future. He thought of his earlier ambitions which now seemed so distant and even foolish. He contemplated his present ambition but even this path to success was strewn with other men who had fallen by the wayside. Would he fall ~ Would he let others use him as a stepping stone and with each step, kick him farther into obscurity~ Would he be one who persevered, who fought valiantly, who did not become discouraged and dis heartened by thoughts of those that had fallen but, instead, was cheered on and strengthened by those that had persevered and now were ::;afely entrenched behind the battlements of success. His reverie ended; he once more started to study but with a new look in his eyes and a soberer expression on his face. Perhaps his dreams will turn out to be more than mere figments of the imagination and he will attain the goal for which he has so determinedly set him self-a goal which many have tried for but which comparatively few have attained, Success. LaVerne Coffee '34 Page Seventy THE HOUR GLASS A Sonnet To A Ship The bulky ship set out to sea at dawn, As sailors' voices rang from ship to shore With the chant of a gay and rollicking sailor's song; None knowing that they would see their homes no more. Upon the sea they sailed eight days and nights, With 'nary a storm to steer them off their way. The stars above them were their only lights; But oh, cruel fate, a storm ~rose next day. · The lightning crashed and felled the mighty mast. The great waves washed o'er board the men on deck. The wind sent forth one long and mighty blast; And sent her to her wat'ry grave-a wreck! Oh fate as this could ne'er more horrible be, That sendeth men so brave beneath the sea! Verna Furman '35 My Ideal Gentleman My ideal gentleman is much like Emerson's. He is a man of truth at all times. He is also lord ·of his own actions. As for being servile on persons or possessions, my ideal gentleman is ·slightly servile on persons, but not posses.sions. He forms his own opinions and does not change them too easily, although he is not obstinate about changing an opi:p.ion which may be wrong. My ideal gentleman is the possessor of a good nature to the ex tent of radiating cheerfulness. Like Emerson's ideal, he is welcome among all types of people. He makes everyone feel at ease in his presence. He is not necessarily a leader in everything he tries to do but he is a leader in at least one thing. He is interested in many things besides his own business and can talk int('lligently about many differ ent things. This makes him popular. My ideal is benevolent, always willing to help people whether it. be in a financial way or in some other way. He is tactful in dong this, as he is in doing everything else. He is refined in that he can make fine perceptions and likes mod eration. He also does not resent criticism or correction. I think an ideal gentleman js one who, without actually seeming to do so, makes the most of all the powers and talents which God has given him and is liked and respected by those with whom he comes in contact. · June Eaton '34 Page Seventy-one THE HOUR GLASS The Business of a Ladies' Guild Meeting In a :;;mall, country town, Mrs. Bentley pounded her ruler on the desk. ''Now girls, let us come to order,'' she said. It was her duty to do this as president of the Ladies' Guild of Pumpkin Hook. After she had put on her glasses and the ladies had taken their places, she continued: ''First we shall sing number 102 in the hymnal. All ready, now, Bess, do let us hear your alto voice in this beautiful song.'' Mr. Elvirah Barnum happened to be walking by the town hall and heard, what he thought, a peculiar noise. '' W al, I swan,'' he said, putting his hand up to his ear in order to hear better, "what be those ladies doing now~ Looks as though tl1ey 've got hymnals in their hands. By golly, they be tryin' to sing." Elvirah was a short, thin, old man and was quite deaf. Most of the people in Pumpkin Hook thought him to be ignorant, but he usually knew what he was doing, and spent most of his time criticizing others. He then looked into the window more closely and said: "You ladies airn't trying to sing, air ye~ I was wonderin' what was going on here.'' "Why Elvirah Barnum, you're humiliatin' us. We were singing and a very beautiful hymn it were. Sometimes you're deaf, but you're always able to hear anythin' ye want to criticize. Now you git along and leave us ladies to 'tend to bm;iness. We be having a very im portant meeting of the Guild." She then started to put the window down, with much force. '' W al, I may be deaf, but I shore c_ould hear you ladies a l'quav.·kin '," said Elvirah, as he walked away, laughing to himself. In the town hall, all the ladies of the Guild seemed to be talking at once. "Wal, I never see such impudence. Of all the nerve," said Jenny ~~. . "Just fawncy that," said Mrs. Greenway, the widow, as she looked at Jenny through her eye-glass, which was really an opera glass, hut unknown to the rest of the women. The widow was considered a f.lociety lady by everyone at Pumpkin Hook and they all looked up to her. She had been in mourning for quite a few years, but no one knew whether she was in mourning for the loss of her husband or the ali mony she had received. "He had the nerve to call our singing, ah 'm what did he call it~ Oh, ye:;, of course, squawking,'' she continued. "Now, ladies, do let us forget about Mr. Barnum and discuss the Page Seventy-two THE HOUR GLASS business part of the meeting,'' said Mrs. Bentley, again calling the meeting to order; "but first I think our dear Mrs. Greenway has a poem she would like to read. I'm sure we'll all enjoy it as she wrote it herself. All right Sylvia.'' "My, my, now weren't that splendid of Sylvy to write a poem for us~" said Miss Rutherford, who was an unmarried woman of about forty years. "Deah, girls, I'm not much at writing poetry, but the other day I had an inspiration and I just felt that I had to write a few verses of it down," said Mrs. Greenway, as she stood in front of the women, much excited about reading the poem. Then she began reading: "The title is 'Life is Like That'.'' I met him when just young and frail We had walked down the old pine trail, I knew at once, he was for me: After we married, he went to sea, But, alas, life is like that. A sailor has a life of woe But, oh much worse is the life of his wife, She just sits at home and sews, Letters, I received from him once in a while, But, alas, life is like that. I could stand it ·no longer So, later I receivt'ld a monthly, alimony check And later, oh how I wept, As now he has left me, And he lies on the bottom of the sea, But alas, life is like that. "My, but ain't that too lovely fer words~" "Gracious, Sylvy, I didn't know ye had it in ye.·" Everybody told Mrs. Greenway how -beautiful they thought the poem was. ''We must put that in the \V eekly Herald,'' said Mrs. Bentley. '' Oh, girls, I am so thrilled: so delighted, h 'm yes, too, too de Ughted," said the widow, as she straightened the collar of her dress, not knowing what else to do. As all the ladies started talking again, .the meeting was called to order for the third time by the president, who said: "Now, Fanny will read the minutes of last week's meeting." "Oh, dear,"- said Fanny, a woman of about forty-five, "where is that paper. Oh, yes, here it is." She then began reading: Page Seventy-three =:=:=: ======:=:=:=:: = = = T H E H 0 U R G L A S S "The meeting began in the usual place, the usual time, with the usual president and the usual ladies present, on the day of August ten. That was last Friday, in case you don't know the date. We didn't 'tend to much busyness that day, as I guess we all felt like talkin', so we joined in a conversation. This is how it started. Jenny, who lives next door to young Miss Leacock's home, she's the purtiest young lady in town, said that she happened to be looking out her win dow and saw young Mr. Oilbertson going into the Leacock's home three nights in succession. We all s 'pose they 'II announce their en gagement soon . . After that, we talked about some of the latest styles displayed by Joan Crawford in a motion picture magazine, and, I · swan, we all wondered what the world is coming to. After that we happened to think about our Saturday night ·dances. The young folks seem to want them to last 'till twelve o'clock instead of eleven. Gracious, I certainly gave my daughter a talkin' to when she said she thought eleven o'clock was too early. Then too, we wondered if Miss Holmstead, who lives up on the hill, has fallen for that Elvirah Barnum. She danced pretty near every dance with him. Outside of another open window, Elvirah Barnum was seated, listening to Fanny, as she read the minutes. When he heard about Miss Holmstead and himself, he said out loud: ''Gracious me, ye. can't even dance with a person 'round here without thim ladies talkin' 'bout it. They be a bunch of gossips. I always wondered what went on to them meetin's. Now, I know they never 'complish no business; just gossip all the time." Janet Dinsmore '36 A Description Far below the tall, majestic Himalayas lies the weird and lonely Burman jungle; a dark and savage mass of impenetrable underbrush and gigantic trees. The slow-moving waters of the great Irrawaddy penetrate into the heart of the jungle. At night the trumpeting of the tired elephants echoes and reechoes through the dense under growth. An odor of sweet moistened grass fills the heavy air of the sweating forest. At night it is even more beautiful than during the day. An irregular profile of the great forest . of trees can be seen in the glittering moonlight swayed by the monsoon winds that prevail over this region of the earth. John De Domenico '37 Page Seventy-four THE HOUR GLASS . Essay On Putting Out The Cat There may be lesser evils than putting out the cat but certainly there are no greater. One may put out the dog of course, but Buster keeps his claws firmly under his feet rather than implanting them in the nearest human being. Well, we begin the search for Rosemary. Rosemary is the quaint name we have given our darling, altho' perhaps George or William would be more appropriate. However, that is neither here nor there the search has begun- No trace of him has been found downstairs except, perhaps, he has been seen in the direction of the roast on the kitchen cabinet. upstairs, all seems to be as usual, until a decorative layer of fur is discovered upon the bed in milady's chamber. You see, every cat molts just as birds do. Of course, birds shed their feathers and cats don't have feathers, but that's the only dif ference. Anyway, Rosemary has obligingly left a clue, the cat hair, upon that bed, so, fortifying ourselves with a sandwich and feeling greatly encouraged, we continue. Much to our surprise, he is seldom found in the guest room; perhaps, this is because there is usually a guest al ready there and Rosemary gets along well only with members of the immediate family. There is an intermission in the search, about supper-time, for food is greatly needed to build up the exhausted family. As a rule, some one is suddenly inspired during the course of the meal and jumps up with a shout; then that individual hastens up the stairs, extracts Rose~ mary from the linen closet, and the search is over for the day. Rose mary smiles sweetly upon the assembled family (the litte hypocrite), placidly eats his milk and salmon and tail waving on high enters his domain, the woodshed. In a more obstinate mood, he must be cast out by determined hands. · Yes! Rosemary is the greatest evil of them all; but he is a hug gable habit, which can not be broken. M. J.

Madame, allow me to introduce to you Monsieur Charles Deneen, one of America's biggest men:'' The Captain of the New York-bqund steamer spoke proudly, fully aware of the privilege of introducing such a dignified and famou,; bachelor as Charles Deneen, president of the L-- Bank Company, and one of Wall Street':::; most powerful figures, to so charming and beautiful a young Frenchwoman as Madame De Clyne. The Captain continued, ''I trust you two will get along well together during the remainder of our voyage.'' "How do you do~" asked Madame, in a low, well-modulated voice . . "I assure you," answered Deneen, with a ' smile, "that it is a pleasure indeed to meet such an intoxicating person as yourself; shall we talk for a while~" ''I would be delighted to converse with such a distinguished gen tleman,'' responded Madame, with a demure smile. And thus it began. That day, Deneen was seen with her every moment, wherever she went. After the late supper, he danced with her, danced her out onto the deck and to the ship's rail, where he said, as he leaned over the rail, ''Please tell me something about yourself, won't you~ All I know is that' you are a beautiful French woman and your husband died a few years ago in an auto accident.'' "Monsieur must not be so inquisitive,." retorted Madame shortly, yet so sweetly and with such a smile that Deneen thought nothing about it. So they danced, they played, they swam in the ship's pool, they ate together. Everyone on board the ship noticed it and marveled at what a pair this distinguished banker, who was only thirty-four, and the darling Frenchwoman of twenty-five made. But Deneen was des perate. Madame always stayed so aloof from him. To be sure, she always seemed to enjoy his presence but never would she submit to his arms, except while they were dancing. He tried time after time to kiss her, but she was always as elusive as a wisp of smoke. 'rhen he would say: "Please, Madame~" But she would answer sweetly, "Please don't." 'rhus it went. But no matter what she said he would be us a· faithful dog, olwying !tis mistress' every whim, quickly and willingly. Then one day, a wireless came from the States for Madame. On reading it she turned deathly pale and nearly fainted. Deneen was amazed and stunned at this sudden change. Page Seventy-six THE HOUR GLASS ''What is it, dear; what is the trouble?" hE:l asked anxiously, as he helped her to a chair. She looked at him mutely for a moment, then handed him the wireless. It read: ''They will find out Tues day stop I must have twenty thousand dollars by then." It was signed ''William.'' "But who,-what is William, what does this mean1" asked Deneen inquiringly. "William," stated Madame slowly, "is my brother, who is cashier in a bank in the states. He was playing the stock market with some of the bank's money. I tried to stop him but he was too far gone to stop then~ However, I made him promise that as soon as he could re place the stolen money, he would quit playing it. He never was able to replace it. Next Tuesday, the investigators will look over the hooks, find a deficit, and he will he thrown into prison, and my name, m; well as my family's, will he ruined. I can't help him, for all my estate and money has gone irito furnishing a home for old French peo ple in Paris. I came to the States to try to get into pictures, and I've not a cent over five thousand dollars," then she began to cry on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and, as though thinking aloud, said, "Today is SEfturday; we reach New York Monday. I can furnish the money . as soon as we reach port.'' "No! you shall not do this for me," cried Madame quickly, too quickly. But he did not notice this; she went on, ''I shall try to get the loan from my hank in Paris, if I cannot-:-,'' she stopped hopelessly. Deneen took her in his arms; this time she did not resist, hut sub mitted willingly. Then he said: "That is all right, my dear, I will fix everything.'' The next day, he sent a coded wireless to his life-long friend in New York, telling him to meet him at the docking of the Luxitania and bring $20,000 in cash with him. Deneen then went to Madame and told her of his action. At first she was almost angry, hut finally, · ~he decided to accept the money as a loan, which she could repay when she became a movie star. Monday came, the boat docked. Deneen finally saw his friend, ·.John Williams, coming toward him with a black business hag in his hand. After shaking hands with Deneen, Williams inquired of his voyage and then said, "Here it is, Charlie, what do you want with it?" ''One moment please, John, let me introduce to you Madame De Clyne. Madame, my old friend, John 'Villiams." Williams' eyes were full of admiration as he held Madame's hand. ,Just at that moment two men stepped up. One of them said to Madame DeClyne, "Corne on, honey, hack home for you." Page Seventy-seven THE HOUR GLASS "Just a moment!" cried Deneen, "Who are you and where are you taking Madame¥" ''Madame¥'' snorted the detective, ''she using that one again~ ·we are detectives and we're taking the ' Madame' to headquarters. Your charming madame is none other than 'Doll Face' Betty McLeod, the cleverest con-girl who ever hopped a prison wall. She is one of America's foremost confidence women, and just a year ago, escaped from the State Penitentiary for Women. How much did she take you for?'' ''Nothing,--'' stammered Deneen. "--yet,'' finished Williams. Wayne Stringer '36 My Ideal Day As sleep loosens its powerful enchantment over me, I yawn in the warm glow of the sunlight which streams' into my window. A robin in the nearby tree chirps merrily, calling me back to life, as it were. I heed the call and, rushing to my window I fling it· open. I fill my lungs with the invigorating air of a perfect summer morning. Ah The joy of being alive. I make a hasty. toilette, rush downstairs and greet my mother. Then a brisk walk before breakfm;t, lingering now to admire a new bud and then to gaze at the beauty of nature. After a hearty breakfast, I help my mother with some household ta::; ks. Then I make arrangements to spend · the afternoon in the country with friends. Among my accessories I would include a tennis racquet, baseballs and bats. Of course, I would also include a basket, well filled with food-without which no day could be ideal. At sundown I start for home and as I lift my eyes towards heaven with a silent prayer of thanks in my heart, I make a wish on the first star of the on-coming evening. Having reached home I seat myself at my piano and give vent to my feelings in melody.

Oh! well-a-day! how dishes look Alike to old and young Instead of a bracelet, a towel Across my arm is hung. Four times twenty dirty dishes And I did sigh and groan With a heavy thump, a lifeless lump I was done at last with a moan. Geraldine Ryan '37 0 lonesome sea-gull, floating far Over the ocean's icy waste, Aimless and wide thy wanderings are, Forever vainly seeking rest. -Elizabeth Akers Allen Page Seventy-nine THE HOUR GLASS Reminiscences At ~undown, one evening in spring, I · decided to visit the attic. My thoughts had been dwelling for some time on the approaching bend in the road. June commencement would terminate an epoch in the lives of most high school students. A part of our lives would be left behind, which would linger only in our thoughts. I took a candle and slipped quietly up the attic stairs. The board~ were creaky and the dust lay thickly everywhere. As I knelt before an old trunk, I glanced out of the small attic window. The last tints of the rosy spring sunset were disappearing in the west. The dark outlines of the budding trees and shrubs were silhouetted against the . pale pink background of the sky. Evening was fast approaching. Stars were beginning to appear faintly in the heavens. I lit the candle and placed it on a nearby chair. Then I proceeded to open the trunk. There were some letters from acquaintances, which l judged to be about seven or eight years old. The vast changes which had occurred since they were written caused me to marvel at the cycles of life and the vicissitudes accompanying them. I came across some of my old compositions written in the lower grades. I glanced over them interestedly, noting the changes in handwriting and expression. I recalled some of the fervent dreams they embodied, which now amused me immensely. There were notebooks, souvenirs, old family portraits, and numerous boxes. In the corner of the trunk was an old box which attracted my at tention. There were some old photographs of my mother in it and mo~t of the baby clothes which she had made for me. I had often won dered why she kept them. Suddenly I realized, that like all mothers f:ince the beginning of time, the first-born held for her, tender thoughts and plans. Who would ever have suspected her of having sentimental notion~~ In those day~ she wa~ young, and hopeful; the cares of the year:-; had not yet taken their toll on her. There were pretty bibs trimmed with lace and other dainty article~ becoming yellowed with the pa~sing years. I put everything away carefully, and glanced ·around me in the f-lickering candle-light. I spied my fir~t doll carriage with a doll in it. I picked up the doll gently and ~troked its cracked head. How many time:-; it had fallen when I tried to hurry over the bumps! Stacked in a corner were some old toys. A much-thumbed copy of ''Alice in Won derland'' was on an old rickety table. ·what marvelous adventures she had had! I walked silently to the window, with the doll still under my arm. I threw up the sash and leaned out. 1'he fragrance of new life penneated the air. Night had cloaked the earth in velvety darkness. 'rhe silence of the night wa~ broken by the croaking of the frogs in Page Eighty THE H'OUR GLASS the vacant lot nearby. The clear sky was thickly blanketed with the refulgence of the stars. The world seemed at peace and I wondered if all the cares of the day were drowned in the beauty of the night. What about our parents' 'V ere they satisfied with their present mode of living? What had become of their youthful plans and ambi tions 1 Where had their sparkle and expectant enthusiasm for con quering obstacles gone? Was I, or any other child, a recompense for their sacrifices 1 Dad's step was less lively than formerly; Mother, slightly em bittered, had bravely given her best years for her children. Our -mothers have soothed our hurts and kissed away our childish tears; they have crooned sweet lullabies to us; they have moulded our characters, and, more than once, have spoiled us with love and de votion. Fathers have worked for us, told us stories in the evening when we climbed on their knees to ask innumerable questions. Our parents have watched us grow from babies with lisping lips, and tiny fingers, to school children and grown-up boys and girls. · Have we, in any measure, been devoted children, grateful for their unselfishness¥ I felt a little bit insignificant compared to these deeds of love hal lowed with their unpretentiousness. The silvery moon was shining high in the sky, casting her bright rayH over the earth, when I turned and whispered to the wind, ''Mom, Dad." These two words expressed all the speechless gratitude I felt for them.

Sea Fever ,By JOHN MASEFJ.ELD I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild: call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life. To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like ~whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. And so beside the Silent Sea I wait the muffied oar; No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. .:._Whittier Here and there upon the water Sits a duck or errant gull, Peering with a curious quaintness At a twin-like foul. -Fisher Page Ninety-six.
